Hi!

6.8 refuses to boot on this machine (I can however boot this same HDD on another server and everything loads... so I'm narrowing it down to the specific hardware it's running on.

I booted Knoppix, mounted the lvm root, did a chroot and manually installed the optional proxmox-kernel-6.14

Now I'm getting
Kernel panic cannot mount root

What's the process to make sure initrd is properly updated with lvm/etc?

Thanks!
 
This was my problem!

Thread 'After installation with Ventoy rdinit=/vtoy/vtoy'

I got stuck removing "rdinit=/vtoy/vtoy"

I am able to start the System by removing "rdinit=/vtoy/vtoy" from the bootmenu.

I followed this post:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/v...t-loading-initial-ramdisk.143196/#post-686898

Making the settings permanent did not pan out for me, is systemd used for booting?
How to remove the rdinit string?

Anyone have any idea why ventoy rdinit is injected into the proxmox grub on install?
 
because the PVE installer will re-use kernel cmdline parameters the user sets when booting it.. ventoy sets bogus options, and those get used as well..

That solved my problem as well. I had first tried downgrading to 8.3 but that failed the same way. I Googled and the first few hits were about different problems then I found this!
